The Empire of Bebeli is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working population of 93 million Bebelians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bebelian economy, worth 3.62 trillion boaboas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,914 boaboas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bebeli's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bebeli is ranked 99,258^th in the world and 2,419^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 15.15 flags saluted per person per day.
